Using Chapters 24 and 41 from your Primary care: Interprofessional collaborative practice textbook, develop two SOAP notes: one for a 12-year-old boy who presents with a bite (may be human or animal; you decide) and another 12-year-old boy who presents with an insect sting. The boys discovered the bite/sting this morning. The skin seems to be getting worse. The boys’ mothers are worried it might be something terrible. In your SOAP notes, be sure to address questions that you would ask and how you would diagnose and treat the children.
